ALSO, AS PROMPTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION, and in the spirit of Halloween: August's GHOST TRICK event!

O-Bon festival: The streets are lined with NPC-run stalls for food, games, and the assorted tchotchkes of every summer festival you’ve ever seen in your animes! There’s Goldeen Scoop, heaping cones of Swirlix Candy, Test Your STRENGTH (there are two different machines for people and Pokémon; HM04 not required); basically, if you can think of it, it’s there. There will also be a yukata rental stall if you want to go full hog on the cultural side of things. Ecruteak boasts a small stage where the Kimono Girls give a short performance once every two hours; the festivities in Lavender Town are a little quieter, but they also have Haunter-shaped ice cream treats. When you lick them, they Lick you!

On the last evening of the festival in either location, there will be a large bonfire and traditional bon-odori dance in which everyone is welcome to participate. In Lavender Town only, they also set paper lamps afloat in the water past the cliffs.

Who you gonna call?: Remember “The Ghost of Maiden’s Peak”? Well, some of the local Gastly, Duskull, and Yamask seem to have gotten it into their heads that this kind of tomfoolery is somehow good medicine. If your trainer had someone in their life, someone now dead, that they have unresolved business with, these ghosties may take it upon themselves to play a little dress-up and follow your trainer around in the guise of said dead person until the issue is resolved. It’s their way of saying thank you for all the spiritual appeasement of the festival.

These ghosts won’t speak; Pokémon don’t talk, after all. So yes, your trainer is going to be followed around by some silent echo of their past who will not leave them alone.

Or, of course, write your own!

My people all have our own magic, native to us as our bodies. But I can no longer use mine here...it's this form, I imagine. Some of us here were not originally humans, so this world changes us to suit it.

Form...so you've taken on a new form, too..

[In the form of a human, he says...]

Was it hard to grow accustomed to, then?

[He chuckles a little, though it's not a very amused sound.]

Many others have it much worse. My body was...similarly shaped, and I am much more familiar with humans than many of my people.

[He considers his hand thoughtfully.]

...it is a small price to pay to be here with my children.

I see. I am glad, at least, that you have your family here with you. ...I have not been able to find my own.

It's alright. Wherever they are, I'm sure they're doing okay. They handled themselves for a long time before I ever started being there for them.

For now, I just have to figure out what my purpose here is supposed to be.
